Absolutely beautifully welcoming home!!

"We had a wonderful family vacation! Rubins retreat is absolutely adorable! Very clean, very comfortable. We found lots to do between the amenities at the house and throughout the community, and with some short travels to Hawk Falls, and Country Junction. The owners were very pleasant, and answered all of our questions promptly. We highly recommend to those with or without children to get away and enjoy yourself. The owners remembered every little detail when stocking and decorating their beautiful home!! We hope to come back soon!!"

Wonderful Home! Great Location!

"We had two wonderful vacations at this beautiful home! We enjoyed Memorial Day weekend last year and MLK weekend this year! We all truly enjoyed ourselves, and the house is very clean and in a great location!
Laura and Duncan were so easy to rent from! I would definitely recommend this property!"

Great place

"The owner was nothing but good to us. The only downside was that the previous renters destroyed the pool/ping pong table. It's in a private area, in a gated community which is completely safe. It's also near the lake."

July Fourth Weekend

"My friends and I have an unfortunate habit of deciding a week before major holidays that we want to get out of town. This always leaves us scrambling to find a place to rent. Frank's home in the Poconos was available and Frank was prompt in his responses. He was even willing to accommodate our potentially oversized group! The house was located within 10 minutes of a grocery store, a liquor store, a beer mart, great pizza and an amazing butcher shop, which was well suited for our plan to spend the weekend vacillating between drunk and food coma. Which we did. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back!
Some pros and cons:
PROS:
-Enough beds for an eight-person group, including two single people
-Great front porch with charcoal grill
-Lots of natural light from front windows
-Nice backyard seating area with benches and table
-Large kitchen table accommodated our whole group
-Kitchen was well stocked with appliances and tools
-No nearby neighbors
-Beautiful back yard and neighborhood (fully half the group went on walks or runs because it was so nice)
-Nearby lake had activities and was a great area to spend an afternoon
-Ceiling fans in the bedrooms!
CONS:
-There wasn't enough light in the living room after dark. We had a lot of crafters and board gamers in our group, and it got difficult to see our work and fight for table space in the well-lit kitchen area.
-Downstairs with pool table and additional TV was very humid, even while running the dehumidifier. We only used the space on the first night but slipped so much on the slick tile that we ended up going outside instead.
-There was a fire pit in the back yard that was expressly forbidden from use. I don't know if it was a stipulation from the owner or a local ordinance, but we would've really liked to have been able to use that.
-As we were leaving on the last day there was a distinct sewage smell from the downstairs bathroom. We hadn't had that issue the entire weekend, and it could have just been from one of the guys not admitting to a particularly pungent bowel movement, but we were concerned."
